came across this story tonight and laughed, because i'm pretty sure i know exactly where sandra came up with the idea.
see, a few years ago, my baby sister the producer was doing a story on jayne mansfield for one of the cable networks. unable to find anybody alive who had known her well and/or was willing to talk, she in desperation drove out to palm springs with a crew to interview jayne's by-then ancient former hairdresser on the off chance he might be able to give her something.
old queen turned out to be a treasure trove of information: among many other things, he told her--on camera--that, in preparation for giving herself to a man for the first time, the pink goddess would always have him trim her pubic hair into the shape of a heart and dye it her signature color.
while this little tidbit never made it into america's living rooms, trust me--it made the industry rounds in no time.
i guess if there's a moral to this story, it's that it's a shame actresses don't rely on their hairdressers like they used to.

This is a true guttermorality valentine. Sweet, yet sour -- perhaps salty is a better match.
noblesavage: i'd go with sweet, yet fishy.
This reminds me of Tracey Ulman's character Ruby Romaine, the old Hollywood hair dresser!
